Catching up...

My goal this month is to catch up from all the summer fun we have been having and get it posted on the blog.  I'll start with Trey's dedication.  We were able to be joined by family and friends to dedicate Trey to God's ultimate plan and raise him with Jesus in his heart.  We can't wait to see how God chooses to use him.

Easter 2013

This year for Easter we went to Grandma Reitha's house.  My mom and our friend Troy joined us as well so we were really surrounded by family and friends.

Here is our family!  This bench in Grandma Reitha's yard provides a great backdrop for a family portrait and documentation of how quickly our boys are growing.

Above are all of the youngest cousins.  They range from Trey who is just over a year to Tanner who is 3 and a half.

Tanner really understood the concept this year of finding all the eggs but was also a great sport about leaving some of the eggs for the littler kids.  He even re-hid some for them to find.

 Trey was just excited to be outside and walk around.  It took a little while for him to understand that the goal was to find eggs but once he spotted one there was no stopping him from getting it and he loved putting them in and out of the basket.

Brothers

A house full of boys definitely keeps me on my toes but I wouldn't have it any other ways.  Tanner and Trey love each other and are figuring out ways to play with one another without complete frustration.  Here are a few glimpses into our daily view of life.

Trey turns ONE!

So our baby turned one is February!  I know this is a little late on the update but I have been so busy enjoying our two very active little boys and exhausted by the end of the night that this is the first time I have had time to sit at my computer and really think about the blog.  So....here we go.

This first year with Trey truly has gone by fast.  He has been fully mobile since around Christmas time and truly brings personality and joy to our family.  This year we asked everyone to bring a favorite book with a message written to him for his birthday and then to just come celebrate our wonderful, amazing little boy.  

So, what can I tell you about Trey...he loves hats!  Any kind of hat or helmet he proceeds to place it on his head and wear it around the house.  He thought the birthday hat was especially great.  He also loves to play cars, build, dance, chase Tanner, give loves and eat.  He will eat anything and everything and for as long as you will feed him. 

Here are a few of the decorations.  Tanner helped me put the stickers on the sign.

We received so many wonderful books!  I cherish each time we open a book and there is a hand written inscription to our son.  We have just as much fun reading those as we do the actual book.

 Trey loved his cupcake!  He did not hesitate at all to bite right into it and devour the entire thing.

Here is more towards the end of the cupcake eating.

Trey is growing up so fast and is so curious about everything.  He wants to be involved in everything taking place around the house but also will spend lots of time it the play room on his own keeping himself entertained.
